Agricultural Statistics Board
NASS, USDA
Reliability of Poultry Slaughter Estimates
Data Sources: Data for poultry slaughter estimates are collected by inspectors of the Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS), USDA for all Federally Inspected (FI) plants. Over 99 percent of the total U.S.
slaughter for any species is under FI. The number of head slaughtered daily, by species and class, as well as
condemnations and total live and dressed weights are obtained by shift for each plant. Approximately 320
plants slaughtered poultry in the U.S. under Federal Inspection in 2008. Young chickens were slaughtered in
35 States, young turkeys in 26 States.
Revision Policy: Data for the previous month and year-to-date totals are subject to revision the following
month after the initial monthly estimates are published. Final data are published in the annual summary
released in February and include any revisions made to current year’s and previous year’s published data.
Revisions are generally the result of late reports or corrections received by FSIS from plants and are usually
less than one-half of 1 percent. No revisions will be made to the previous year’s data after publication of the
annual summary in February.
Procedures and Reliability: Plant inspectors submit data electronically for each shift a plant operates. An
edit provides checks for the detection of errors such as invalid plant information, duplication, and erroneous
data. Data are accumulated to monthly totals for this release.
Data for major slaughter plants with missing reports are adjusted prior to publication to assure that all plants
slaughtering a significant portion of a specific class are included. Estimates for missing shifts are made only
after verifying that the plant was in operation. Adjustments are based on a shift determined to be similar to
the one missing. Late reports replace imputed data as they become available. While there is a varying
degree of incompleteness from month to month, it has only a minimal impact on the published totals.
Poultry slaughter estimates are based on a census of operating plants and, therefore, have no sampling error.
However, they may be subject to errors such as omissions, duplications, and mistakes in reporting,
recording, and processing the data. These errors are minimized through strict quality controls in the edit and
summarization process, and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
State data are published using selected States for young chickens and young turkeys. Data for all States not
published are included in the “Other States” category. Also included in this category are data for published
States that are confidential (denoted by an *). Data for all States are included in the U.S. totals.
